The UNFCCC Roster of Experts contains information on
experts, who are nominated by their respective Governments through the National Focal Points of the
Parties under the UNFCCC, to contribute to a number of processes mandated by the COP, the CMP and the
subsidiary bodies. These processes, among others, include the reviews of annual submissions of
greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and supplementary information under the Kyoto Protocol submitted by
Annex I Parties, reviews of national communications and biennial reports submitted by Annex I Parties
and technical analysis under the international consultation and analysis (ICA) process of biennial
update reports (BURs) submitted by non-Annex I Parties.

In addition, nominated experts to the UNFCCC
roster of experts will contribute to the technical assessment sessions, once a year, of proposed forest
reference emission levels and/or forest reference levels for the implementation of the activities
referred to in decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 70 (REDD-plus), submitted on a voluntary basis by developing
country Parties. The assessment team of experts will compose of land use, land-use change and forestry
(LULUCF) experts.

To be able to implement activities mandated by the COP
and/or the CMP and the subsidiary bodies, the secretariat continuously invites Parties to the
Convention:

·To nominate new experts to the UNFCCCC Roster of Experts,

·To regularly check, and, where necessary, update the information on
experts
already nominated to the Roster of Experts,

·To remove experts from the Roster of Experts who are no longer
available for
cooperation with the secretariat.

These updates can be performed by National Focal Points
and roster custodians designated by their respective National Focal Points. For new
nominations, the following three steps should be followed:

1. The expert provides the National Focal Point or the
Roster custodian with his/her relevant information (see nomination form on the right).

2. The National Focal Point or the roster custodian
enters the information online into the UNFCCC Roster database.

Note: The online
functionality indicated below to"Nominate
an expert/Update the information"is currently not able to accept new and additional
information, as is currently in the process of being upgraded to address the needs of nominations of
experts for the analysis of BURs under the ICA process and the assessment of forest reference levels.
As an interim solution, the new nominations and additional information for these processes should be
sent to the secretariat using the email:Roster@unfccc.int.
However, nominations and updating information of experts for the review of GHG inventories continues
to be possible using the online functionality below.

3. The National Focal Point or the Roster custodian
sends the expert’s Curriculum Vitae by e mail to mailto:Roster@unfccc.int
